Past Headhunters

Dave Tice "Moan and Shuffle"
Tice (3:36)

Dave

Dave Tice is one of of the great blues singers and harp players in Austrlian Rock'n' Roll - and there is the anomaly - because he has never before confronted his own blues band. In the past he has sung with the legendary Australian hard rock band, Buffalo; British R&B exponents, The Count Bishops as well as Mal Eastick's Band. Now Dave is truly rediscovering his blues roots to create what undoubtedly must become the next logical step in the evolution of music - the blues. In a time where everywhere you look you are faced with synthesizers, drum machines, time-code and computers, Dave is making music without any of these. His band consists of something that has almost been forgotten - real live dedicated musicians. On yer actual acoustic drums that may not always run at 125 BPM there is Theo Wanders. On Hammond C-3 organ with no midi is Mike Gubb.

Chris Stafford played a Tune fretless bass, while guitars were played by KIm Humphries (Strat) - who also did the solo. Peter Walker (Gibson 335) and Dave (Acoustic bottle- neck guitar of no distinct parentage). With a "Moan and Shuffle" Dave Tice presents a song typical of the sound of his new band and his forthcoming album "Blue Tongue".

Headhunters

Tennis champ wins new set
Daily Telegraph, Monday 17 1984

For Wimbledon and US open semi-finalist, Pat Cash, the strings were finally tuned and the crowd on the feet at a Bondi meeting in Sydney last night. But the strings this time were on a high-powered guitar and the venue was not a tennis court but the Royal Hotel, where Cash filled in for two hours with one of his favourite rock groups, the Headhunters. Cash has been playing the guitar for about eight months and receives most of his tuition from his friend Mick Cocks, the Headhunters' lead guitarist. Charlie Steell's picture shows Cash, centre, with Dave Tice, Mick Cocks, Greg Skehill and Mark Evans.
